Title: Watchdog driver
Post by: batzilo on May 06, 2014, 05:52:02 AM

Hello guys, greetings from Greece :)

I can't find a watchdog timer driver for piCore 5.2.2.

Is it available? Where could I find it?

Thank you

It is built into the kernel, not a module.

Can you help me with /dev/watchdog node creation? What is the character device major and minor number? on piCore 5.2.2 there is no /dev/watchdog file by default

Thank you

Can't check 5.2.2 as actually running 5.3rc2 but /dev/watchdog is there by default and this part of kernel config is the same.
